Mike Magill was an American driver who made three starts in Formula 1 between 1957 and 1959, competing for the Sutton team. His sole recorded race finish came in 1959, when he qualified for the grid but finished twentieth. He never scored a point or mounted a competitive challenge in the championship. His Racer Rating of 3,771 places him in the upper range of drivers who competed in professional single-seater racing during the 1950s, though he did not establish himself as a frontrunner at that level.[1]
Magill's most substantial opportunity came with Kurtis Kraft, a constructor that fielded him for two of his three starts. Kurtis Kraft proved a competitive operation in its era, accumulating five race wins across its history and attracting drivers of stronger calibre than Magill would demonstrate. His limited racing career and lack of podium finishes suggest he was a marginal participant in Formula 1 rather than a driver capable of sustained performance in international single-seater racing. He retired from competitive racing after 1959.
